Heh. Almost all of my followers are people I know IRL or from former Internet pursuits. I think I have maybe three writing-related folks following me. Considering all the rambling I do on there, anyway, I should probably give up any hope I had of making it a semi-professional contact tool.

Maybe update more often & initiate contact with others? Worked for me. Throw enough bullshit interesting conversation starters out there and someone's bound to reply to it!

They never sold the first Katamari here. How annoying. I got the second one though and spent four months on it becoming a pro.

Nowadays my distractions are slightly different, but only a little bit. My PS3 sucks up my time, youtube, drawing (the correct term for which is scribbling aimlessly), sanding my Tie Pilot helmet, distressing my plastic blaster so that it looks metallic and drooling over the leathercraft kits on tandy leathers website.

So I'm checking out old threads to see how we've matured over the years. (We haven't.) And I see that this sweet, innocent distraction thread turned into something hilariously evil and ugly. Curse you boys!
